Why the Best CEOs are Turning to HR to Lead the Organization Through Today's Top Five Threats
We are entering a new economy and business model with tremendous potential for HR to lead strategic organizational success. The first of the five threats that will be discussed is the loss of your competitive advantage as other organizations level the playing field while simultaneously failing to engage your workforce to create and develop new products and services faster than your competition. Second, we will discuss the cost of reckless hiring, as most analysts agree that 80% of turnover can be attributed to bad hires. Third, regulatory nightmares can become a huge external nightmare due to the impact that government regulation can have on your business. The other two threats we will examine are the inability to innovate, and poor leadership and communication skills. You must be ready to anticipate, respond, adapt and above all, lead through these critical threats.
